Sujan··on Royalty Free No Copyright Music for All Your Projects
The song.link links are broken for me, some redirecting to Kleinstadt from JNGS, other to other files. Seems pretty random.
Sujan··on Exclusive Design
Huh? Can you describe what you experience as not pleasant here?

That being said, making the browser window less wide changes the design to a more readable variant.

Sujan··on Google Takes Its First Steps Toward Killing the URL
Oh of course! Much more pronounced there.

For me it is black for the domain vs. dark grey for the rest (FF65). I actually never noticed this before, nice!
Sujan··on Wanna Kicks, a new AR app lets you virtually “try on” kicks
Works surprisingly well. Nice!
Sujan··on Show HN: I wanted to measure CO2 in my office, so I build a C++ WebServer/App
Anyone know other, possibly cheaper, devices besides https://www.co2meter.com/products/co2mini-co2-indoor-air-qua... that can display current CO2?

I hoped there would be cheaper versions on Aliexpress, but no luck :(

Sujan··on Don't Pay to Acquire Your First Users
Shouldn’t it be pretty _hard_ to sell bibles to people that probably already have one? (Or is this just a traditional saying I don’t know?)

Sujan··on DevHub: TweetDeck for GitHub – Android, iOS and Web with 99% Code Sharing
GitHub notifications client it seems. Opens everything in a new tab for me. (which is still nice!)
Sujan··on DevHub: TweetDeck for GitHub – Android, iOS and Web with 99% Code Sharing
Looks great!

Does it do more than display notifications in a different/better way? Issue triage or anything like that?

Sujan··on How we made the OneSoil map with AI detected fields and crops
Good work!

Works surprisingly well for "rural" Southern Germany, Black Forest area where I grew up. It's hilly, so most of the area is forest or grass - but the few fields I know are recognized and mostly with the correct crops as well.

Sujan··on One of the world’s most visited websites that nobody is aware of (2017)
All the visitor data is based on faulty data - there is no connection between the numbers his sources report and reality. If you have your own modestly popular website, go check and see what those sites report for you. Those numbers are totally made up.

That of course also means, that the revenue estimate is absolute speculation.

Even better: The original question "where did these files come from?" is not even answered.

Sujan··on Flutter: the good, the bad and the ugly
That is a demo app that is not representative of what you can do with Ionic. As the README on Github says "This is purely a demo of Ionic with TypeScript. It is still in development."

Maybe you should/could report these at https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-conference-app/issues...

Sujan··on Cross-Language Performance Profile Exploration with Speedscope
Speedscope is awesome. Used it to look at a few profiles created with rbspy (which is also awesome) and it was really nice to be able to do so in the browser.
Sujan··on Show HN: Should I Send It? Helping you understand your mood in emails
For anyone wondering how it works:

> - The chrome extension doesn’t read the content of your web pages.

> - The chrome extension only reads your highlighted text when you click the extension smile icon.

> - Your highlighted text is passed from your browser to our API where the sentiment is calculated, we do not store in any way the text you highlight.

Sujan··on Opera Touch is a solid alternative to Safari on the iPhone
Shame.
Sujan··on More than 9M broken links on Wikipedia are now rescued
Interesting aspect!

The biggest problem in this would probably be how to recognize if "content" changed. A site can change the full design, navigation, footer and header and everything and still have the exact same "content". For a human being this will be simple enough to understand, but a tool might have its problems with that.

Sujan··on An analysis of all known decentralized exchanges
This just showed me how little I know about... this. Most of the words don't make any sense to me :/
Sujan··on Opera Touch is a solid alternative to Safari on the iPhone
Could it be possible to reuse the ad blocker functionality Apple allows on Safari by building an app/extension/however that works to catch all loaded URLs in Safari and replace them with an "Open in #preferred_browser#" link perhaps?
Sujan··on Understanding user support systems in open source
I think core developers should do whatever they want. Nobody is entitled to anything from a developer of an OSS project, unless there is a contract and/or money involved.

Sujan··on How Etsy Localizes Addresses
> This form confused a lot of our German members, and they ended up putting any number of things in that field, just to be able to move forward. This led us to saved addresses like:

> Ets Y. Crafter

> 123 Main Street

> Berlin, Berlin 12435

> Germany

> In this case, the member just entered the city in the state field. This wasn’t the worst situation, and anything shipped to this address would probably arrive just fine.

Actually, "Berlin" is the correct state (Bundesland) for the city "Berlin". It's just not relevant in addresses in Germany most of the time.

He actually seems happy - the decriers just live here in the comments. As usual...
Sujan··on Death by Database: a short story of how a bad schema can hurt you company
Yes, but that is an unrelated mess (and another reason not to reuse anything of that db for non customer mailings).

The simplest fix for the "duplicate/misspelled addresses" indeed was to remove the "unique address" requirement and just let each customer have its own set of addresses that are only connected to that customer.

Letting an address be connected to multiple customers (many to many) sounds great in theory, but is a disaster waiting to happen in practice.

Also, is a couple actually one customer or two separate customers? What about the customer's "friend"'s address in the system?

Of course this is all from the outside, knowing nothing about anything on the inside - so there might have been good reasons for why it all was how it was.
